The quotation marks are used when you want the internet search to include the exact words you type inside them. This is very useful when you want to search about a topic that may be confused with another one that includes some of the words. For example, suppose you want to research about Colegio Menor. Then, you would type those words in quotation, and the results will only include those exact words in the same order.
..
This search tool is very useful when you want to research about a certain period of time. For example, suppose you want to research about the historical facts between the years 2000 and 2010. What you need to do is in the search line type in historical events 2000…2010.

When you type in this symbol in the search line what it does is it searches about all the results that are similar to the word you typed in. For example, let’s say that you type in the word Desserts with this symbol before. The results you will get will all have something to do with desserts; you will get things like recipes.
· OR: When making an internet search you can type OR when you are not very sure about the topic that you want to research about, for example suppose you want to research about the biography of Lady Gaga and Kesha. In this case you would type in the search line biography Lady Gaga OR Kesha, and that way you won’t get the results mixed up, you will get some websites with only the biography of Lady Gaga and others with only the biography of Kesha. If you were to take out the OR, you will see the results mixed up.
· - This next search tool is used to narrow down your searches to something more specific, it excludes the words that are after the symbol- for example. Suppose you want to research about Michael Schumacher’s life before Ferrari. Then you would type in the search line Michael Schumacher –Ferrari. This way your results will include everything about Schumacher that has nothing to do with Ferrari.
